| Annotation | The focus of this interim report is on the short-term funding of social care. The Committee calls on the Government to provide additional funding for adult social care in the Budget on 8 March. The report examines why it believes that the Government's funding commitments are not enough, by focusing on funding mechanisms: the social care precept, the adult social care support grant, and the improved Better Care Fund. It finds that since 2010, the core grant which councils receive from central government has reduced. At the same time, councils' social care budgets have faced a set of increasing cost pressures, including a growing and ageing population, increasingly complex care needs, and costs arising from the implementation of government policies, including £2.5 billion to implement the Care Act 2014 from 2013 to 2019-20. This report should be read in conjunction with the Committee's ninth report of Session 2016-17 (HC 1103, published 31 March 2017) on its findings on the wider system and the funding of social care in the medium- and long-term.
